My parents (77 and 81) may be joining us on our upcoming WDW trip. My mom would definitely require an ECV for the entire stay (arthritis and joint replacements, limited mobility). Dad on the other had, may be ok just renting them at the parks - although at 81 years of age, with diabetes and having just undergone cardiac surgery I wonder if a length of stay rental may be the way to go for hime too. I have a ton of questions, but here are the two major ones:

1. I've been reading through this thread, but most of the posts are before Buena Vista Scooter became a sponsor. Are their prices / customer service as good as or superior to the other rental companies or are they just more convenient? (especially since we will be staying at the BWI)

2. How much does ECV rental cost per day at the parks? We are going late April into May, so the crowd levels should be moderate. How early do you need to arrive at the park to have the best chance of having a rental available? If my family was to arrive earlier than my parents, could I rent the ECV and leave it for him?

Any input would be appreciated. We are so excited that my parents are considering joining us. While they've been to WDW a few times in the past, they've never stayed on property. DM has always wanted to, though.
